Back in March, Erik was interviewed on Cruzin’ With Steak, a podcast that’s kind of like this one, in that it’s mostly informal conversations about lots of crazy stuff. Lots of crazy stuff. The interview starts at 00:30:44. It’s pretty fun. Have a listen!
EP 28 – Nathan Lee the Fellowcraft
This episode, we welcome back Nathan Lee, AKA OccultFan, where we dive further into his ongoing journey into Freemasonry. As his Master Mason degree approaches, we discuss his initiation into the Fellowcraft or 2° of Blue Lodge Freemasonry. We don’t reveal any secrets, but we discuss the secrecy of Freemasonry and the educational foundation of the Fellowcraft degree. This one has a lot for the esotericist interested in Freemasonry.
The Beverages
We both drank water. Weird, huh? Water.

Guest Appearance on Nox Mente
Recently Erik was a guest on the Nox Mente podcast, where he was interviewed about his dreams and a bunch of other stuff. This is a long and weird conversation and I think you guys will really enjoy it.
Here’s the YouTube version if you’re so inclined.
How Erik Records Podcasts in Linux
Hi everybody! In our last interview with Chuck Dunning, my co-hosts made fun of the way I record podcasts. Well, I record in Linux, and sometimes Audacity crashes, so I had to come up with an alternate solution.
Maybe you have this problem, too! If so, check out this tutorial I wrote about recording podcasts in Linux using Ecasound. I’m sorry that it’s so confusing, but Linux can be a pain in the butt when it comes to audio. Enjoy!
EP 27 – Jeremy Crow and Flambeau Noir
In this episode, we talk with Jeremy Crow, the infamous Internet Luciferian! Jeremy is the founder of Flambeau Noir, the left hand path occult conference that is going to be in Portland, Oregon, on April 27th to 29th, 2018. We thought it would be ridiculous if we didn’t interview him before his conference, so here he is!
After talking about Flambeau Noir, Jeremy and Erik dive into the left hand path and what it means. This leads to discussion of many occult techniques, dichotomies in occult thought, free will, destiny, the afterlife, and how everything is interconnected.
Technical difficulties meant that we were only able to have one interviewer. Nate really wanted to be there, but it just wasn’t able to happen. Sorry Nate!

EP 26 – The Return of Chuck Dunning
We weren’t allowed to call this episode “Chucky 2: The Return of Chuck Dunning”, but deep in our hearts we all know that’s how it will be remembered. In the last half of the episode, we spend a lot of time talking about the nature of dualism and non-dualism in Western and Easter thought, as well as how it’s represented in Freemasonry. This is a very deep episode, with lots of introspection and extrospection (that’s a new word) from our guest and our hosts. We really hope you enjoy it.
Before listening to this, listen to Chuck’s earlier appearance on our podcast: part 1 and part 2.
Locations
We recorded this at WeWork Custom House in Portland, Oregon. There was a lot of background noise and you might hear some weird audio effects from time to time, but overall it came out pretty well.
Our brief intermission was recorded earlier at the Big Legrowlski, an excellent beer bar also in Portland.
The Beers
Everybody is drinking beer during this episode! We had some of the free WeWork beer, which was some kind of IPA. Everything else is listed below.

EP 24 – Ryan Peverly of Occulture Podcast
In this episode, Erik interviews Ryan Peverly of the excellent Occulture Podcast. Our discussion centers around not only how Occulture has evolved, but how Ryan and the podcast has changed together. This subject is particularly interesting because of the amount of knowledge and growth Ryan has assimilated in the short time he’s been podcasting. Tune in and join us!
This episode was recorded over Skype for Linux. There were some weird audio effects, like echo on the line, crackling, and audio drop outs all over the place. I learned my lesson: no more Skype for Linux when I’m recording a podcast! Back to Google Hangouts.
The Beverages
Since our last episode was all about beer, there’s no beer at all in this one! Ryan is drinking dark roast mushroom coffee from Four Sigmatic, while Erik is drinking lemon La Croix.
Show Notes and Links
We mention a few individual Occulture episodes in our conversation. I won’t link to each one of them individually, but Ryan mentions episode 31 with Laurel Airica as the episode where he felt his style really changed and solidified, so go check that one out for sure.

EP 23 – Silver Falls Brewery
In this episode, Nate and Erik trek out to Silverton, Oregon, to visit Silver Falls Brewery. Our good friend Austin was kind enough to drive us all the way out there in exchange for all the beer he could drink. We sat down with founder and brewer Eric Druliner and assistant manager/brewer Jose Ramirez to talk about small breweries, small towns, and incredible beers.
This episode is almost entirely about brewing and beer, so it’s a departure from our normal format. We tried to get Eric and Jose to talk about anything weird that happened while brewing and got maybe 10% of a Sasquatch anecdote.
The Location
The Silver Falls Ale House in Silverton, Oregon, has a beautiful space and delicious beer.
Silver Falls Ale House is located at 207 Jersey St, Silverton, OR 97381.
The Beers
- 1933 Pilsner
- Winter Falls Stout
- Round 1 Pacific Strong Ale
- Silver Eclipse IPA
After recording we drank more of their beer and all of it was delicious.
